20. Phalangista (Dromicia) sp. nov. 
A second and smaller species of Opossum Mouse, found 
in thisisland. I have had a specimen alive in my possession 
for some years, but it does not seem to thrive or do so well 
in the cage as the other and larger species with which it is 
associated. I have sent specimens to Mr. J. EK. Gray, British 
Museum, who will no doubt describe it.
